“In retrospect, the spark might seem as ominous as a financial crash, as ordinary as a national election, or as trivial as a Tea Party. The catalyst will unfold according to a basic Crisis dynamic that underlies all of these scenarios: An initial spark will trigger a chain reaction of unyielding responses and further emergencies. The core elements of these scenarios (debt, civic decay, global disorder) will matter more than the details, which the catalyst will juxtapose and connect in some unknowable way. If foreign societies are also entering a Fourth Turning, this could accelerate the chain reaction. At home and abroad, these events will reflect the tearing of the civic fabric at points of extreme vulnerability – problem areas where America will have neglected, denied, or delayed needed action.” – The Fourth Turning – Strauss & Howe
The paragraph above captures everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen during this Fourth Turning. It was written over two decades ago, but no one can deny its accuracy regarding our present situation. The spark was a financial crash. The response to the financial crash by the financial and governmental entities, along with their Deep State co-conspirators who created the financial collapse due to their greed and malfeasance, led to the incomprehensible election of Donald Trump, as the deplorables in flyover country evoked revenge upon the corrupt establishment.
The chain reaction of unyielding responses by the left and the right accelerates at a breakneck pace, with absolutely no possibility of compromise. A new emergency or winner take all battle seems to be occurring on a weekly basis, with the mid-term elections as the likely trigger for the next phase of this Fourth Turning.
There is no positive outcome which will come from these elections. The no holds barred ad campaigns being waged by both sides have sunk to new despicable lows. Winning at all costs is what matters. The Republicans were always going to retain the Senate, but now look like they will gain seats. The overwhelming consensus among the fake news media for months has been for Democrats to retake the House by picking up 20 to 30 seats. The attempted Brett Kavanaugh lynching by left wing extremists and left-wing media, along with the left wing financed third world caravan, has dialed up the intensity and enthusiasm of Trump supporters. The tone of the mainstream media has grown worried and increasingly venomous as they see their lock on the House possibly slipping away.
Either result is likely to deepen the anger, hate, violence and turmoil, which has already been elevated to levels portending civil chaos, if not civil war. If Democrats take control of the House, their agenda will be to impeach Trump, pass legislation designed to make Trump look bad, block everything Trump tries to do, and position themselves to win back the presidency in 2020. The frustration of gridlock will lead to Trump utilizing Executive Orders as his means to accomplish his agenda. Not being able to accomplish his domestic goals will lead a bored Trump into foreign escapades, which could potentially lead to unanticipated military conflict. All previous Fourth Turnings have ended in all out war, with death on a grand scale.
If the Republicans pull a 2016-like upset and retain control of the House, the fury and rage from the left-wing haters will surely violently erupt in their social justice enclaves of loathing. There will be lawsuits and recounts as Soros and his minions fund dissent and violent uprisings. The Democrats will be apoplectic if they do not retake the House. If you think the fake Russia-gate witch hunt, surveillance state attempted coup, screeching pussy hat wearing feminazis perpetrating fake criminal accusations against good men, Soros funded illegal immigrant caravan photo ops, and libelous propaganda media inciting violence, was bad, the coming venom, viciousness, and violent upheaval will make the first two years of Trump’s reign look like a pleasant walk in the park. The linear thinking low IQ press and intellectual yet idiot academics are unable to conceptualize the mood change in this country which will drive events going forward.
The generational alignment of Fourth Turnings is creating the dynamics leading to the increasing intensity, distress and high likelihood of aggression, hostility and war. These crisis periods strike like clockwork on an eighty-year timetable. The 2008 financial crisis struck seventy-nine years after the 1929 stock market crash that catalyzed the Great Depression/World War II Fourth Turning.
In another example of history rhyming, this past week was the anniversary of the nationwide panic initiated by Orson Welles’ radio broadcast of War of the Worlds in 1938 – exactly 80 years ago. A clearly fictional account of evil Martians attacking our country should not have done anything but entertain Americans still suffering through the Great Depression. But, the mood of the country certainly contributed to the terrified overreaction. According to History.com:
Perhaps as many as a million radio listeners believed that a real Martian invasion was underway. Panic broke out across the country. In New Jersey, terrified civilians jammed highways seeking to escape the alien marauders. People begged police for gas masks to save them from the toxic gas and asked electric companies to turn off the power so that the Martians wouldn’t see their lights. One woman ran into an Indianapolis church where evening services were being held and yelled, “New York has been destroyed! It’s the end of the world! Go home and prepare to die!”
Orson Welles was not purposely trying to terrify the nation, but events during 1938 and the seemingly never-ending hard times had the nation on edge. Germany had invaded and occupied Austria before creating a crisis with threats about invading Czechoslovakia and starting another world war. Neville Chamberlain became notorious as the most famous appeaser in world history by declaring “Peace in our time” after handing Czechoslovakia to Hitler.
War would break out one year later, ultimately engulfing the entire world and resulting in the deaths of 65 million people. The economy and stock market had re-crashed again in 1937, leading to more pain and suffering across the land. The masses were mentally beaten down, frightened by the possibility of war, and susceptible to fear invoking events or narratives. Welles accidentally touched a raw nerve and instantly created panic.
Here we are eighty years later and the mood of the country is similarly on edge. We are ten years into an “economic recovery” for Wall Street, while Main Street still struggles to make ends meet. Real wages have barely budged in two decades, while energy, healthcare, food, rent, and education costs have soared for the common people. The initial phase of the financial crisis devastated the retirement savings of millions and resulted in millions more getting kicked out of their houses by Wall Street bankers, who committed fraud and were rewarded by a taxpayer funded bailout and free money provided by their puppets at the Federal Reserve.
The billionaire bailouts provoked the populist revolution, resulting in the elevation of Trump to the presidency. Phase two of the financial crisis will erase two-thirds from the stock market and once again wipe out the life savings of millions.
With left and right already at each other’s throats, the devastation of another stock market crash will undermine what little trust remains in the debt ponzi financial system and the Ivy League educated MBA psychopaths in suits running Wall Street banks. The curtain will be pulled back and the feckless academics running the Federal Reserve will be revealed as nothing but doddering fool money printers who devalued our currency into oblivion.
Americans should be fearful about the bursting of the everything bubble, but they continue to be paralyzed by normalcy bias, cognitive dissonance, and propaganda from those in power, foolishly believing all is well. Instead, the mainstream media functions as Orson Welles, convincing large swaths of the public to fear phantom Russians, mad bombers sending fake bombs to leftists from his Trump decorated van, compensated marching Hondurans 1,000 miles from our borders, evil Syrian dictators, non-existent Iranian nuclear bombs, global warming, and worst of all – plastic straws.
The core elements of this crisis, as predicted by Strauss & Howe, continue to propel this Fourth Turning like the molten ingredients of an ongoing volcanic eruption engulfing everything in its path, leading to a global conflagration. The core elements of debt, civic decay, and global disorder continue to juxtapose and interact in unknowable ways, but the stormy passage towards death and destruction is undeniable. Our civic fabric has been torn asunder, while our financial house of cards teeters under the unbearable weight of trillions in unpayable debt, and proxy and trade wars morph into all out military conflict.
My assessment of where we stand regarding the core elements of this crisis is as follows:
Debt
- Total credit market debt in the U.S. when the debt created financial crisis struck in 2008 was $51 trillion. Our “brilliant” leaders have “solved” our debt crisis by adding another $17 trillion of debt, bringing the total to $68 trillion. Total credit market debt as a percentage of GDP at 344% is exactly where it was in 2007 before the crisis. What is even more staggeringly stupid is tens of trillions (student loans, subprime auto, corporate junk bonds, government bonds) cannot and will not be repaid.
- The national debt in 2007 stood at $9 trillion (up from $5.7 trillion in 2000) and presently sits at $21.7 trillion, while accelerating at a $1.3 trillion annual rate. It will close in on the $23 trillion level by the end of this fiscal year. As a percentage of GDP it has risen from 62% in 2007 to 108% in 2019. Rogoff and Reinhart proved that once countries surpass 90%, eventual collapse is certainty. Taleb has declared our financial system to be far more fragile today than in 2007.
- Interest on the national debt reached a record level of $523 billion in fiscal 2018, up $64 billion over fiscal 2017. It is poised to blow that number away in fiscal 2019, tracking to reach $600 billion, as interest rates continue to rise. With the current out of control government spending, interest on the debt will account for 13% of the budget and will account for an increasing slice of the pie going forward.
- With over $200 trillion of unfunded liabilities staring the country in the face in the foreseeable future, Social Security ($1 trillion), Medicare ($600 billion), and Medicaid ($400 billion) outflows growing rapidly, interest on the debt ($600 billion) growing at 17% per year and corrupt politicians funding thousands of worthless pork projects, ramping up military spending while slashing corporate taxes is a recipe for disaster. Who will buy this debt without requiring better than a 0% real return?
- Consumer debt outstanding now stands at a record high of $3.94 trillion, up from $2.65 trillion in 2008 when the Wall Street created debt crisis hit. Real wages (even using the fake BLS inflation data) for real people haven’t budged one iota since 2008, but the amount of debt carried by average people is up 49%. The average auto loan exceeds $30,000 (all-time high) and the length exceeds 70 months (all-time high). Millions of Americans are surviving month to month on their credit cards. With rates rising and Americans up to their eyeballs in debt (again), the auto and housing markets have stalled and will fall. The amount of debt to be written off this time will be staggering. Are you ready to bail out Wall Street again?
- The U.S. debt situation is bad enough, but the entire world followed our lead in a coordinated attempt to prop up a failed global financial system with more debt. Global debt has soared from under $140 trillion in 2007 to over $240 trillion today, up 70% since before the debt crisis. Governments, corporations and individuals have done the exact opposite of what needed to be done to put the world back on a sustainable financial path. Instead of beginning the process of living within our means, liquidating the criminal banks, jailing those responsible, and addressing our out of control spending, we allowed our Deep State rulers to double down on the debt and accelerate the speed towards the fiscal cliff. This was all done to benefit the few at the expense of the many, as the Deep State looting and pillaging campaign continues unabated. Next stop……
Civic Decay
- The social distress we are experiencing in the country is nothing new, despite the outrage proclaimed by linear thinking mainstream media talking heads who have zero understanding of history or the cyclical nature of mankind across the centuries. The incivility among corrupt congress politicians is child’s play when compared to Alexander Hamilton being shot dead by Aaron Burr or Andrew Jackson’s feud with John Quincy Adams. Democrat congressman Preston Brooks almost beat Republican senator Charles Sumner to death with a walking cane in the Senate chambers in 1856. The vitriol being spewed by Democrats and Trump is nothing new in politics, but during Fourth Turnings compromise is not possible. There will be clear winners and losers when all is said and done.
- Violence, aided and abetted by the corporate propaganda media, is being fueled by race, religion, nativism, gender and class. Open warfare is being waged on many fronts. White males have been used as the whipping boy of the left, and the backlash is happening, with the election of Trump as a result. The Democrats have enslaved inner city blacks in their ghetto plantations with their failed welfare policies and victim card tactics. The potential loss of this voting block has Democrats seething with fear and lashing out wildly in all directions.
- The Left and Right had operated with a wink and a nod regarding illegal immigrants pouring into our country for decades as the Democrats expected more votes and the Republicans saw cheap labor for their corporate constituents. Trump upset the apple cart and revealed the hypocrisy of politicians on both sides of the aisle. The 20 million or so illegals in the country are a net drain on our social welfare system, but business owners and the rich benefit from cheap labor and suppressed wages for the plebs. The highly publicized caravan appears to be designed to rile up the masses for voting purposes and to distract the average American from their deteriorating economic plight.
- The most significant cause of civic decay has clearly been the decades of degraded public-school socialization disguised as education. They have created generations of non-critical thinking droids who have been taught that feeling is the same as thinking. The entire social justice warrior/safe space crowd owes its existence to this indoctrination by politically correct government drones in schools across America. It’s a disease without any cure. Average Americans can’t add, subtract, spell, speak, or think for themselves. It’s almost as if the ruling class designed our educational system to create millions of people who would not question what they are told and could be manipulated easily through Bernaysian propaganda techniques.
- Those running the show proclaim technology to be the savior of mankind. Instead it has contributed to the dumbing down of America. Millions are addicted to their iGadgets. They walk into traffic while tweeting, texting, or facebooking. With history and literature at their fingertips, Americans choose to watch cat videos and follow the adventures of the Kardashians. Social media has created a nation of brain-dead zombies wandering the streets, adding no value and living vacuous, shallow, worthless lives. Technology has been a boon for the Deep State and their accomplices Google, Facebook, Twitter and the MSM in controlling and manipulating the pliable weak minds of the masses. Is it a wonder there are so many hopeless mentally damaged individuals committing mass murder on a consistent basis.
Global Disorder
- In addition to the massive accumulation of unpayable government debt by the EU, China, Japan and emerging market countries; proxy wars rage in Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan; Muslim hordes are overrunning Europe; NATO pushes Russia towards conflict; and Trump wages trade wars with the whole world. The animosity between countries builds, the fragility of the global order increases and the risk of a politician doing something spectacularly stupid is higher than it has been in decades.
- The billionaire elitists who were implementing their one world order unimpeded through globalization and open border policies, have been thrown for a loop by the ascension of Trump and other populist leaders across the globe. Trump declaring himself a nationalist is met with howls of racism, ridicule and scorn by the globalists who have been in control for decades. The rise of Orban in Hungary, Salvini in Italy, and Bolsonaro in Brazil mark a drastic shift in mood across the globe towards nationalism and away from unfettered immigrant flows into their countries. Macron, Merkel and May are on their way out, as populism rages across Europe.
- It is a fact China and Asia have been utilized by globalist corporate entities to maximize their profits through wage arbitrage. It is a fact China and many other countries erect trade barriers to protect their markets will pretending to embrace free trade. Trump’s aggressive stance on trade pacts is warranted for the most part. But world trade is a complex mechanism dependent upon thousands of variables and companies making decisions based upon known factors. With a trade war in progress and no certainty of what will happen, companies delay making investments and signing deals. The result will be decreased trade and increased possibility of global recession.
- With Trump supplying an increasingly hostile and volatile world with arms as his primary economic jobs program, is it any wonder the Middle East is a tinderbox of religious hatred, slaughter, and chaos. The U.S. militarily supports a country that bombs innocent civilians in Yemen, treats women like cattle, murders journalists, funds jihadists, and has lots and lots of oil. We prop up a dictators in Egypt and Turkey, but have done everything in our power to overthrow the dictator in Syria. We economically support Israel as they work against our interests around the globe. A showdown with Iran, in the works for over a decade, inches ever closer as we intimidate other countries into shunning Iran economically.
- There are no good guys when it comes to world leaders. They all lie, cheat and steal. They all have huge egos and believe they are the smartest person in the room. They are arrogant and their hubris is ultimately their downfall. Putin and Xi can play the long game. They don’t have an opposition party contesting everything they do or say. They are leaders for life, or until they are overthrown. They are as nationalist as Trump. They have nuclear arms. They have large militaries. They have major economic problems. These leaders will do whatever they feel is in the best interest of their countries. Threats and bluster from a reality TV NYC real estate mogul does not make them quiver with fear. When economic pain sweeps across the world during the coming financial collapse, trade wars will morph into real wars.
Anyone who doesn’t perceive the darkening clouds portending the most dangerous portion of this Fourth Turning crisis is either willfully ignorant, an Ivy League educated “Intellectual Yet Idiot”, an MSM talking head, or a Deep State apparatchik. Ten years into the last Fourth Turning was 1939, the outset of the bloodiest global conflict in world history. Any doubt there really is a Deep State, controlling our lives, surveilling our electronic interactions, manipulating our minds through propaganda techniques, and keeping us distracted with technology, sports, and social media, has been obliterated by Trump drawing these evil characters out of the shadows and into the spotlight as they have attempted a blatant coup against a sitting president.
The current paradigm had been very profitable for the ruling elite, as their propaganda laden production convinced the masses they were making economic progress as they feel deeper in debt and were free as the surveillance state grew ever larger. The curtain will soon be pulled back to reveal it all as an illusion.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” – Frank Zappa
No one can predict the exact events which will propel the remainder of this Fourth Turning. But one thing is sure, things will not return to normal until we withstand and conquer the grim challenges ahead. Those who think the stock market can continue to ascend after being elevated by the Fed for nine years are delusional. Those who don’t think debt matters are ignorant of history and how societal mood changes drive greed and panic. Those who discount the possibility of global war because we are too civilized evidently do not understand human nature and our warring nature.
This Fourth Turning will intensify no matter the outcome of the mid-term elections. It will not end until the existing social order is swept away and there are clear winners and losers. I don’t pretend to know what will happen, but I won’t be surprised when things take a turn for the worse. You can’t sit this out. You should prepare as your resources and life situation allow. Courage, strength, wisdom and adaptability will be required to survive the coming challenges. Approaching the coming storms with eyes wide open, large doses of common sense, teamwork and self sufficiency offer you the best possibility of coming out the other side.
Strauss and Howe did not make predictions, but they put forth an educated guess of potential outcomes. Millions of factors and humans will interact in an unknowing way to produce the ultimate outcome. We all may have to make individual decisions which will impact the outcome. Shirking our responsibilities out of fear is not an option when the potential outcomes could end civilization as we know it. We should all do everything in our power to produce outcome #4.
- This Fourth Turning could mark the end of man. It could be an omnicidal Armageddon, destroying everything, leaving nothing. If mankind ever extinguishes itself, this will probably happen when its dominant civilization triggers a Fourth Turning that ends horribly. For this Fourth Turning to put an end to all this would require an extremely unlikely blend of social disaster, human malevolence, technological perfection and bad luck.
- The Fourth Turning could mark the end of modernity. The Western saecular rythm – which began in the mid-fifteenth century with the Renaissance – could come to an abrupt terminus. The seventh modern saeculum would be the last. This too could come from total war, terrible but not final. There could be a complete collapse of science, culture, politics, and society. Such a dire result would probably happen only when a dominant nation (like today’s America) lets a Fourth Turning ekpyrosis engulf the planet. But this outcome is well within the reach of foreseeable technology and malevolence.
- The Fourth Turning could spare modernity but mark the end of our nation. It could close the book on the political constitution, popular culture, and moral standing that the word America has come to signify. The nation has endured for three saecula; Rome lasted twelve, the Soviet Union only one. Fourth Turnings are critical thresholds for national survival. Each of the last three American Crises produced moments of extreme danger: In the Revolution, the very birth of the republic hung by a thread in more than one battle. In the Civil War, the union barely survived a four-year slaughter that in its own time was regarded as the most lethal war in history. In World War II, the nation destroyed an enemy of democracy that for a time was winning; had the enemy won, America might have itself been destroyed. In all likelihood, the next Crisis will present the nation with a threat and a consequence on a similar scale.
- Or the Fourth Turning could simply mark the end of the Millennial Saeculum. Mankind, modernity, and America would all persevere. Afterward, there would be a new mood, a new High, and a new saeculum. America would be reborn. But, reborn, it would not be the same.
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white

And which is an illusion

Trump and his Kabuki Presidency have almost everyone either drinking the fake-conservative Koolaid or crying in their latte.
I’m glad I don’t have a dog in this fight or an ounce of emotion invested.
Au contraire. You never miss a chance to throw shade.
You are very much invested.
Nope.
I say most of the things I say purely to rile up clowns like you.
Q was a Phyop but it has morphed into a life of its own and tomorrow will be another acknowledgement of this very fine fact.
What or who is Q now you ask?
Q is Question Everything, Question Everyone, Quantify all information until proven factual and we do this from now on and until forever more for we all who now make up Q will regain our God given birthrights.
“I say most of the things I say purely to rile up clowns like you.”
What a coincidence, same here.
You clearly are invested more than you care to admit.
Wingman,
Wow! What a shock all your down voted for speaking Truth to the TBP “Always Trumpers.”
Nothing to do with “Always Trumpers”, more to do with he’s an asshole.
A masterful articulation of where we are and how we got here with the shuffling madness of locomotive breath and his mad flute playing in the background, in my head.
I will forward this to my personal circle I care about. I have been trying to warn them for years about what is coming, but this is more comprehensive, clearer and louder than my Paul Revere cries.
Agreed. But I don’t agree with… “The billionaire bailouts provoked the populist revolution, resulting in the elevation of Trump to the presidency.”
IMO, the elevation of Trump to the presidency was the direct result of the Obama administration and his eight years of non-stop SJW bullshit and the further shredding of our constitution. All aided and abetted by the main stream media’s constant fawning over everything Obama. Woke people saw through the lies and manipulations and wanted and needed someone with a spine who would fight back and save our country from the socialist slippery slope we’re on.
That said it’s an EXCELLENT post… Chip
I think there is truth in both SGN…but I’m with with you…you and I are almost always simpatico. Your handle could be mine. I became sickened over the 4th estate’s fawning and outright lying propaganda over the greatest Trojan Horse in the history of the world. I was vocal from 2007 on after my own investigation and relentless against the Petulant One while despising his “radical transformation.” The truth about him was always evident if you did any real digging.
Admin’s 4 Turning drum beating is what pulled me to TBP in the first place and has validated the tremendous time and money I have spent preparing to give my family a farm/compound to survive in.
Indeed the reason for Trump is multi-faceted. No doubt it includes the reasons Jim cites, my reasons above, and I would add that we had neutered Republican candidates in McCain and Romney in the previous two elections. We wanted a fighter because of all the above. We were sick and tired of the media having its way with our candidates and them doing nothing about it. Trump proved to be that fighter as he smashed through the other 16 candidates in the primaries. So yes I agree with you and my comments were not intended to take anything from Jim’s wonderful article… Chip
Before the two “bigger men” of ’08 and ’12 we also had GW who would not fight for us and would not side with his “side.” Who used socialism(TBTF bailout) to “save” capitalism in addition to his administration filled with neocons, one worlders, North American Unionists, endless war and nation building and all the rest.
One may notice Bush has found time to attack and criticize Trump.
Yea, no doubt he was just another poser rotten apple who fell close to the tree.
Agreed. The Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama tag team nearly destroyed America. RINO-Leftist-RINO-Leftist. The Uniparty of BIG Government… Chip
McCain & Romney weren’t just “neutered” — they were the Black Sox personified. Both were pre-selected by the GOPe for the “honor” of graciously losing to Obama. Trump smashed to victory because the voters quickly realized he was the only GOP candidate running to win; all the others were vying for the “honor” of graciously losing to Hillary.
Some people have speculated that many GOPe types recently came over to Trump’s side because McCain was no longer around to bully them. Down in hell, McCain must be gnashing his teeth at the knowledge that the best thing he ever did for his country and his party was to drop dead.
I’m serious…re-read Admin’s post with this madman, mad song, mad flute playing as we all run into the mad 4th Turning…

Very nice work, Jim. Should go viral…soon..
After I recover from the anesthesia from my surgery tomorrow, I will check in to read all the comments. My brain will be too fogged to comment with any kind of coherence.
I will say that, while outcome #4 would be ideal, I’m leaning towards #3.
Also, I agree there will be calls for recounts. But I think it will be regardless of the outcome.
Thanks for all you do to keep this site up and going, admin.
Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow.
Good luck to you on your surgery.
Have been waiting to see something… in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care MC
You are in my thoughts.
Best wishes, good luck, and I hope you get to feeling better.
That was excellent! I love the 4th-turning articles.
It should be mandatory there is a Fourth Turning article once per week!
HOW ABOUT ONE ERIC PETERS ARTICLE PER WEEK, INSTEAD OF 4 or 5?
In tonight’s Walking Dead, the deceased Sasha told Rick in a dream that we draw strength from each other so we can carry on.
Maybe so. But this waiting to die is killing us.
It’s like flies having to choose between a vacuum cleaner or a swatter. What’s the difference? Everyone’s here. Let’s vote.
My wife and I are both Walking Dead fans. I thought the Sasha scene was reminiscent of hiLIARy’s “Stronger Together” campaign slogan. LOL.
I think we’ll see Rick and Jadis in some spin off series in the future. It will be in a different part of the country or even outside the US in a whole different environment and group of people… Chip
Well thanks Uncola for thenspolier alert ? am behind on the show and now I already knowmSasha is dead. Well crap….
You must be really behind because Sasha died in the series 7 finale. Snooze you loose.
Who is John Galt, anyway?
But seriously, I apologize. Initially, for dramatic emphasis, that sentence had two spoilers in it, but I did remove one. I thought about removing the word “deceased” before Sasha, and now I wish I would have.
In truth, though, I never imagined any real Walking Dead fans would be so far behind. My bad.
Uncola: Dude I just read the David Foster Wallace speech “This is water” and it was really fucking cool . Thanks to you again.
Walking Dead is starting to feel like it’s jumped the shark.
They jumped the shark in season 4.
We started calling it the “Talking Dead”
I would rather watch a Colombian Tele-Novella.
Z-nation is much better.
Best wishes for you MC
Moral decay concerns me more than anything. Not sure USA has the strength to face what is coming. I stand a good chance of not living past the crisis but there are kids and grandkids. I pray that they will inherit a nation as good as the one I was born into.
“Enemy of democracy”? – Come on, you gotta do better than that.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor ? You’ve got to persevere, baby. https://mobile.twitter.com/DBloom451/status/1059181932607627264
THAT was cool… Chip
Hurry up please Fourth Turning – I’m getting bored waiting for some of da action – let’s have absolute chaos and destruction please! Bring this shit on – maybe the sandniggas arriving at the US broder will be the catalyst.
Be careful what you wish for… Chip
I’m ready for this shit and I will profit from it big time – and I don’t give a fuck if the cattle get slaughtered. Lots of fresh meat then!
Let me ask you a question. Just yes or no. Have you ever been in war/combat?
Can I ask you a question, just a yes or no…have you ever been in war/combat?
Yes I’ve been through shit you wouldn’t survive! That is why I would thrive in the coming shit and am looking forward to it. It will be real FUN!
Anon,
You have no knowledge what I’ve experienced.
I asked the question because your eagerness and almost giddy longing for the death, destruction, terror and living hell of what could happen sounded juvenile.
Now if you have experienced war and combat and you are still eagerly wanting more then you must be either a sociopath or psychopath. Those are the only two types of people who eagerly embrace combat and war. I know that for a fact from personal experience…just saying.
I don’t give a toss about what you’ve experienced, whether it is PTSD or PMT. In Fourth Turnings there are many losers and few winners. I know what side you are on.
Wow, you really are a blather mouth. I suspect you are nothing more then a keyboard warrior with a cocky attitude born from too many video games. Anyone who has ever really been in the shit prays to never be in it or see it again.
As far as what side I’m on when TSHTF that’s just another blather-mouth comment that makes no sense.
Hmmm…I wonder…are you one of those basement dwellers? Still living with Mommy and Daddy? If I’m wrong I apologize…its just that you write like that’s a strong possibility.
Here here. He apparently has no clue on what he is speaking about. Semper fi.

Hmmm…looks like “Anon Basement Dweller Blather Mouth” and “Elections have Consequences, Bro – the Evil Grasshopper” (from the Survivalism post by Ole Remus) are probably two TBP posting sociopaths and or psychopaths WANNA BE’S who have down-voted me.
Like I have always said: You can judge a man by his enemies and you can judge a man (sometimes) by his thumbs down.
I’ll take thumbs down affirmation from those two Jelly Heads (grape and strawberry) all day long.
Anonymiss Bullshit. What fukkkin things.
He asked a direct question. You sound like a poser to me.
Fleabaggs.- what an apt name- piss off and get your own fucking experience and knowledge.
Anonomousey..
You assumed you knew Marks experience and you assumed you knew mine and we’re wrong both times. Him and I have posted at length our unpleasant experience with war as have others while you only obsfukkate. That tells me you are a poser.
Hey Flea…It don’t mean noth’in…and basement dweller keyboard warrior don’t mean noth’in. He’s just a TBP FNG.

Been getting ready in case the q-anons are wrong. It is my great fantasy that they are right and poor Frankie won’t have to suffer unduly. But if my other fantasies being fulfilled are a barometer it ain’t lookin good. Raquel and Lynda Carter still haven’t taken advantage of me and and my pecker is still only 6.5 after all these years of wishing.
Secondly, I don’t like freeloading so I don’t participate . Got 21,000 more to pay off from my misadventure in the health care Goolag. That leaves me with 900.00 a mo. But my tiny chunk of low remote SW desert allows me to get by and still be able to drive. So remote I have no cell coverage and the illegals don’t even pass by. My ejection fraction has, with a lot of work gotten back up to 30%, so I can at least function without oxygen.
Even If the Q’s were right on all counts it still can’t do anymore than delay what Admin and me and a few others have been warning about for much more than 2 years.
Good to see you again, Flea! I thought you’d gone on to the great beyond to meet your maker.
Hey, Flea! Are you hanging around for the evening?
Mary C..
Yup. Gonna stay in town to get cell coverage to see if I need more ammo.
What kind of operation did you have?
stay in touch,we missed you–
take care of yourself,i want to kick your ass over n.korea & i don’t like beating up on sickos–
Tampa..
Bring friends with guns or catch me sleeping. Glad you missed me.
“…Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war…” — Otto von Bismarck (1815 – 1898) – German aristocrat and statesman; Prime Minister of Prussia (1862–1890), First Chancellor of Germany (1871–1890)
I think he’s a 13 year old Fortnight fan…
One day there will be a John Buttrick moment, and the command “Fire, fellow soldiers, for God’s sake fire!”, and then it will be on.
Thousands will die from just the lack of the medications for depression, much more so for the diabetics and so forth.
Just turn off the lights and see the panic. Turn off the power and leave open routes to the democractic strongholds for them all to flee. They want welfare, let them have it. Hope they have water.
They aint gonna get no welfare cos the guvment will be bankrupt — hahahahaha!
“The Left and Right had operated with a wink and a nod regarding illegal immigrants pouring into our country for decades as the Democrats expected more votes and the Republicans saw cheap labor for their corporate constituents. ”
Never quite understood how Republicans could allow this to happen. Even if the above reasoning is correct, the sheer stupidity, knowing that these illegals, at some point, are going to be voting Democratic.
The last 3 years have convinced me of the following
1. Republican elites are making a ton of money while fooling the 99.9% of Repub voters. Hence they don’t care about the average citizen.
2. The Never Trumpers have shown their true colors and are willing to surrender to the Socialists as long as they can maintain their elite status albeit in last place.
3. Social justice is more important to 50% of the voters than their own economic well being. They vote against their own interests. You can’t fix stupid.
4 The MSM no longer tries to hide their biases and coordination with the Socialists.
1. generally deserves imprisonment or death
2-4. are givens
Yeah the democrats loved hating on the Koch brothers (big agriculture). Now the real Koch intentions are known. They are open border globalists because their franchise farms employ millions of cheap immigrants. We all need a garden and then they go bankrupt!
The sheer stupidity has been the republican hallmark for several decades.
That’s why they are known as the stupid party.
Great article, thank you Admin. Well done.
Holy crap. I better plant some more vegetables and get livestock. This is getting serious.
I hear fried snake tastes just like chicken !!
Taste like chicken but smells like a fish when you clean it.
We are departing in an hour or two on a very important road trip down south. My youngest son will be going along so we can use the time as an educational field trip through history- stops along the way include Lexington Green, Princeton, Valley Forge, Gettysburg, D.C., Chancellorsville. I will have a full week to tell him the history of our family from it’s arrival in New Amsterdam in 1621 through our current era and how it all came to be. We’ll visit the graves and the battlefields where the last remains of of the men whose blood flows through our veins are now interred and somewhere along the way I hope that a clear message comes through. The underlying and more important purpose of the trip is to try and convince my remaining family members to come and live with us up here on the farm. I can’t imagine having to watch from a great distance as they move into the most vulnerable part of their lives in a political and economic climate like the one we are entering into today without us there to protect them. I don’t know how successful I will be in making my case, but I have been working on the presentation for a while now and my wife and I are in lockstep on this. To get through whatever is coming is going to require the kind of loyalty, interdependence, and common values that only a family can provide. I am- for the first time in a very long time- uncertain about even the immediate future, but there is a very clear and present voice that tells me daily to prepare.
No matter what happens in tomorrow’s election one thing is certain, the time for talking is over. We are simply waiting for the Lexington Green/Ft. Sumter spark that ignites the fireworks of this Fourth Turning. I wish it were possible to resolve our divisions peacefully, but the seasons of man cannot be reasoned with, they unfurl at their own pace and in their own time and all we can do is find a way to do what we must in the time in which we were born.
Morituri te salutant!
HSF, what a great teaching opportunity to your son. As an adult, I now wish I had listened to my parents more when they talked about “needing to know/learn/understand history”. I had little interest in it while in school…..I loved math, English, and home economics (remember that???) Bravo for what you are doing with/for him.
On your second undertaking, I totally applaud you for working to circle your family around the campfire. I’m not sure there are many, even on this site, that would work diligently to convince family to move to their own land. That said, we (smaller-gov-now is my hubby :O} ) have tried to share with family and close friends what we see and study ourselves when it comes to the demoralization of our country. We have also been preparing ourselves for a very difficult time that seems inevitable….. planted additional citrus trees this past weekend, and have a garden ready for planting. We live, since 2015 on nearly 2 acres that we have cleared, fenced, built, planted and cultivated to prepare for what lies ahead. Fresh water directly behind our land (a Resaca, unique to only this county in America) and 4′ fence encircling the entire property. That said, we are also 21 miles from the MX border, but I thank God every day that we are in the great state of TX and surrounded many like minded people.
God bless you on your trip with safe travels, and prayers for convincing your family to return with you.
Be sure to visit Spotslvania. General Sedwick was quite a fighting General.
Have a couple of distant relatives buried in the Confederate Graveyard there in Spotslvania. They(30th NC) fought and blocked Hancock during the the attack at the Mule Shoe.
Hope things don’t get that desperate again, but most likly will.
“The time for talking is over.”
I think that is a commonly felt sentiment. Have a safe trip.
HSF,
I am in a similar situation with family from three generations, some of who live in the NE blue bubbles and are completely unprepared for what I have thought for many years was inevitable. I’m preparing for many of them to eventually live with us: a large one room Amish built little house, working on a comfortable large modern room within a room in one bay in the barn, A well stocked combo tornado shelter root cellar that sleeps two (non claustrophobic types only), considering a large slightly used camper (or maybe two) and last but not least clearing land to build a second home and dig a second well in the spring. There are 19 souls (counting me and my wife) I’m prepping for.
Water, veggies, fruit, berries, fish, nuts, eggs, rabbit meat and goat’s milk are all either in play or can be quickly.
Weapons, ammo and walki talkies for all. Lots of spare Bibles to pass around…praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
It is apparent the clarity and purposefulness of your comments have intensiied recently.
Godspeed.
HF, I did a similar trip(s) with my two kids. I think they were 12 and 14. Maybe a little too young at the time. They do remember my ‘crazy’ act of picking up the dirt and saying ‘there’s blood in this soil’. My wife got a little mad at me for ‘scaring’ the kids, but later thought better of it. Best of luck.
I don’t think you’ll need to prepare a presentation. When you see it and picture what happened in those places, the words and lessons will come.
Not that you need my advise, but I tried to avoid the ‘tours’ and things like that, and just sat in peace and quiet and told some stories.
My focus was revolutionary sites, but we did some civil war sites as well.
I’m lucky enough to live 30 minutes from Valley Forge and 2 hours from Gettysburg. I’ve taken my 3 boys to both parks multiple times over the years. Always a great experience. I hope they remember.
My WWII veteran father, an Army ranger, is buried at Arlington Cemetery. As is his best friend in high school who died at Okinawa at age 24, and for whom I am named after.
Talk a walk through there sometime to soak in the reality of war.
HSF, you got a good presentation regarding current times that you’d like to share?
“Germany had invaded and occupied Austria”
Oh Please… Do some basic research on the blumenkrieg ffs.
I was going to bring that up as well but didn’t want to be negative in an otherwise great article. Germany and Austria voted to join together their great nations after WWI and though the Treaty said they were allowed to do such things, the Germans and Austrians were threatened with immediate invasion when they did so. All Hitler did was make real what had already been voted on.
Hitler was actually born in Austria.
France and Britain feared a greater Germany post WWI, hence the treaties demanding separation.
Though the majority of Austrians favored merging with the Weimar Republic, they did not with Nazi Germany – until finally succumbing to Hitler’s economic boycott, political shenanigans, and ultimate invasion.
Prior to that, the Austrian Nazi party was constantly losing elections and Hitler even gave a speech which allayed concerns by saying he would not invade or attempt to reunify the two nations in any way.
Of course, history proved the vertically-challenged, mustachioed Führer to be a liar.
What are we missing here?
You are missing the fact that entire nations, Poland for example, were created based upon the treaty. The Germans and Austrians voted to unite following the war and Hitler made sure that vote was honored. That Hitler made some speech is entirely irrelevant.
The Germans and Austrians witnessed 5 new nations created out of their former territories. When they attempted to use the same legal mechanism to unite German speaking peoples, they were threatened with invasion. This is one of the reasons the NAZI’s came to power so quickly as all Hitler had to do was to point to the treaty and point out the fact that everyone else got to do whatever they wanted EXCEPT Germany and he was gonna put it all straight again and he did if but for a few short years.
Again, what you are saying is that the tinpot dictator of Nazi Germany made sure the vote was honored that was originally between Austria and The Weimar Republic. Even so, in order to make that happen, much fuckery took place in advance.
Austria’s Chancellor was threatened by invasion and he stepped down under duress. The next day, German troops invaded without resistance. At the very least, historians claim Austria was annexed by Hitler and Goering who desired the country’s natural resources.
NatGold above cites “Blumenkrieg” as if Admin was wrong in claiming Hitler’s forces invaded and occupied Austria. Blumenkrieg means “war of flowers”. The reason Hitler’s forces were met by flowers was because Austria’s Chancellor, before resigning, told his military and nation to stand down in order to avoid bloodshed.
After the unhindered invasion, Hitler’s forces occupied Austria and suppressed all opposition. Just as historians label Hitler’s invasion as an annexation instead of a reunification, they also (mostly) agree the Anschluss Election staged by the Nazis in April of 1938 was rigged.
Therefore, I stand with Admin’s contention that “Germany had invaded and occupied Austria”.
If that all is true and it has the ring of truth to me, why exactly should anyone bother to vote in this latest plutocrat sponsored chinese fire drill? Oh wait, I know: To upset the existing financial order, get us out of these stupid never ending wars and build the fucking wall. Right.
The Blues quote was inspired. Their Live at Red Rocks album is one of the great live performances of all time. So I will be voting for Justin Hayward.
Because the left are mentally deranged idiots. The right, although they will certainly not save us all, will put a damper on the march towards socialism and give us all more time to prepare… Chip
Live at Red Rocks….I was there…my goin into battle tune..
Outstanding article, Admin! I’ll share this hoping it attracts even more readers to TBP.
We hear much about debt and the increasing interest thereof, but we never hear about the parasites who earn this interest.
Well folks it looks like Gab.ai is back online. And just in time for election..
And once again as always Twatter is still up to its usual tricks..
Saw this today. Someone posted an image deemed offensive enough that it was hidden from and came with a warning..Me being the curious George I clicked on it..
This is what I saw..
The people behind the scenes at twatter have picked their side.. And the thing they fear the most isn’t evil Syrian dictators, non-existent Iranian nuclear bombs and global warming.
Nope!
No Sir!
What they fear is the unstoppable force of Nationalism and Populism that is sweeping the world. And of course the number one scourge and blight on this world
the evil plastic straw
A great bit here Quinn. Might have to send some moar money as your writing is so timely. It captures the mood the Six Packs in the streets. And two hundred years from now Historians hard at work pouring over the interweb will looking to places like this to find what is the real history of these times. All the talk of collusion and fake news. Yet it is this place that is compelling. In large part because it is real.
Not Fake Like CNN and MSNBC
or the twitter feeds of Jack Dorsey
and cucked fuckwits at twatter control.
The world is entering dangerous and uncharted territory. The sides have aligned. The only thing uncertain is the outcome. And history does rhyme. As before the Nationalists are being handicapped from within by a fifth column that wants nothing better than to do us all in..
“There is no stopping what can’t be stopped, no killing what can’t be killed, I don’t who he is, but I know where he is, the Other Side” King Willie Predator 2
The deeper currents that flow through history cannot be stopped and like a wave approaching the shore are nearly invisible until the wave crests and breaks on the shore.
Living in MT, I have been surprised at how many hardcore leftists live here. The Trump rally in Bozeman was however attended by so many people they closed the entrance about 90 mins after the gates opened and there was mile long line of people disappointed who could not get in.
The American Redoubt will see some conflict as we clean up the vocal leftists but many will simply choose to work together to survive as we are a long way from anywhere.
If you have not adjusted your life by now to get out of harm’s way you are going to be living in a dirty war battlefield where you can’t tell who is who until they attack or shake your hand.
As Jim indicated, no matter who wins tomorrow….the rhetoric and action will simply escalate. The DEM party is facing extinction and will not go quietly. The fringe elements on both sides are starting to engage….how long (or after what atrocity) will the large middle get engaged I don’t know but I do anticipate it will happen before a new social contract is established defining who we are as Americans.
Martel-where’s my signature on the current social contract? No consent, no contract.
I still believe this fourth turning will be what I call the changing of the guard, which I posted about last year at this time.
Globally the US will be drawn into a war with Iran, possibly triggered in Syria. Russia and China will side with Iran and the US will ultimately lose the conflict because we are supposed to lose it. That’s the script.
Russia and China will be the new leaders of Europe and Asia respectively – at least on the surface. In reality, the same ruling elites that now pull our strings behind the scenes will pull theirs.
Domestically I think that the US will be relegated to what John McCain used to call Russia – the world’s gas station. We will also likely be the world’s food supply. For Joe and Jane average American, it will be a life of sustenance. The hordes of stone-age migrants are purposely brought in to provide the low IQ grunt work and are more easily controlled than those that have lived here and enjoyed the fruits that America has always enjoyed and are likely to be resentful at having lost them.
Those with skills required by the globalist elite will probably fare the best. These stone-age morons will not be able to run a refinery or design anything more complicated than a dagger. Everyone else will be not only expendable, but downright disposable.
I think it’s possible that the US will be broken up into several smaller, easier to control countries or regions.
By getting and keeping us all at each other’s throats the plan moves ahead more efficiently.
It’s not going to be pretty. Fourth turnings never are…
Interesting post Steve.
Thanks.
If you are interested, my original article on TBP is here:
I had missed it…got chores, will read it later…thanks!
(I get hooked into TBP during daylight and nothing gets done)
Steve,
Great article, thoroughly enjoyed it and as usual all the comments.
Are you interested in Christian prophecy some interpret as a possible soon to happen nuclear attack on Iran or an earthquake causing a Chernobyl type incident in Bushehr and Iran’s destruction? The merge between the Bible and current geopolitical events and possibilities.
If not that’s cool.
PS: I married a West Texan and lived in San Angelo, Robert Lee and San Antonio. If I wasn’t deeply rooted in North Carolina I would be back in Texas.
I am always open to new information.

We are down in the Southern Flyover Region with access and control to several large rivers and military bases.
No worries. All is well. This debt will surely be repaid – by you the taxpayer.
It will be paid by us using a business term, the liquidation process!
Soylent Green anyone?
Anon (from November 5, 2018 2:08 pm) will have a double portion…
I ain’t payin’ shit. Can’t squeeze blood out of a turnip. The fed needs to erase some zeros IMO.
Won’t/can’t be repaid by the taxpayer–the amount is simply too staggering . The dollar will be drastically devalued. You might think of that as a tax since everything you own will be worth less in $, however.
The liquidation that occurred under Nazi rule got rid of lots of mouths to feed…..the same will happen in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave too….
Unplayable debts will be paid one way or another…
Yes the Dollar will be drastically devalued but that still won’t be enough for these egomaniacal central banksters and their ilk…
They must appease the God of this world through carnage and sacrifice…just as long as they aren’t some of the liquidated useless eaters as Big Z infamously referred to Americans.
Don’t forget the debt that has to be repaid to nature by the extinction or liquidation of our species. Don’t doubt that the earth is a self regulating organism and it will correct the damage we are doing to her by our elimination. And it will be the Will of God.
May I have another, SIR!!!
Chop chop another bowl for BIG ED!
” All previous Fourth Turnings have ended in all out war, with death on a grand scale.”
No doubt this one will too and likely be the end of US as well.
How so you may ask ? Any nation that self de-industrializes should not foment any war in which it cannot even resupply itself , much less allies.
“The Red Army has clearly learned the lesson of WWII, which is that industrial infrastructure will defeat training, esprit de corps and tactics. The Pentagon has belatedly realized that this is a serious problem, but the dumbing down and demoralization of the US population due to immigration renders it largely unable to even begin addressing it.”

Debt, devolution, and violent decentralization are the order of the day. While the globalists fantasize about a global map that’s all one color, it’s more likely to look like a wall after somone throws a 10-course meal at it—specks, splatters, and splashes of many colors than constantly change as the food slides down the wall.
#3 is a virtual certainty. The United States as we know it will be gone, splintered into who knows how many pieces. So too will Russia, China, and the European Union. Governments are the dinosaurs of our day, unsupportable and doomed to extinction in their present form, as Jim’s numbers on global debt make clear. They laughed when Ronald Reagan said the USSR was in its twilight, but he was right. What he didn’t realize was that the USSR’s government was at the leading edge of the twilight for all of today’s gargantuan, collectivist states. After the Roman Empire, Europe splintered. Such will be the outcome when today’s empires splinter.
Great article, Jim. I’ll post it tonight.
Gotta love a man with a positive outlook. The evil of democrazy is about to be vanquished.
I gave you a thumbs up for your map imagery. That was great. But this: “#3 is a virtual certainty. The United States as we know it will be gone, splintered into who knows how many pieces” is a stretch. Until the midterms come to their conclusion we don’t know this for sure. If there is a Red Wave the Republic can be kept together and the rot can be dug out to some degree. The biggest threat will be the debt which does not (necessarily) preclude a threat to the territorial integrity of the nation.
We can argue about it more on Wednesday. 🙂
I’ll be ready!
Amen! Chip
Robert Gore said,
“Debt, devolution, and violent decentralization are the order of the day. ”
The attempts of decentralization must be viewed in the wider context of the currently established supranational ruling institutions set up by these same types of ruling families, robber barons, bubble barons and corporate and financial elite who established them in the first place. The true ruling oligarchy will not be affected by the nationalist furor of pundits, whether genuine or faux nationalist, but what will transpire in the name of flag and country will lay the groundwork for the final, out in the open global NEO feudal Nanny State and the cultivation of the concept Nobama referred to in his acceptance speech, ironically enough, in Germany where he read from a teleprompter his written for him speech that promoted the notion of global citizenship and global citizens.
See my comment below for more of what is to come in this socially engineered simulation we get The pleasure of living through.
Plato,
I don’t always agree with you, but I never miss your intellect and humor. Your post reminded me of how I threw up in my mouth listening to the Petulant one give that speech. After listening to it I immediately went out and bought a rifle and a 1,000 rounds.
Mark,
I have read many of your comments and feel similarly. Don’t always agree with some of what you say but that don’t mean I don’t want to hear what you got to say.
Thank you.
As far as Barry and Donny go…
The obama”nation” and its followers bought the Gooey Changey narrative of the 1st black president of the U.S. hook line and sinker….kinda the same way the Always Trumpers have bought Brand Trump’s MAGA faux nationalist bullshit!
If we could come together, grass roots style and avoid the Co option (which my cynical side doesn’t see happening kinda like what happened to the Tea Party and Occupy Wall st.) then we wouldn’t have to put our faith and trust in Brands owned by the same groups of puppeteers….
Plato,
We are in complete total agreement when it comes to the puppeteers, the hydra headed snake…and many other things.
I keep my powder dry when it comes to every possibility, including the three Trump possibilities. As far as him being controlled opposition, its possible but I’m not going with it…yet.
I’m not a 100% bought into any group or person including the TEA party that I was a fearless grass root blade in…except the God of the Bible. Not looking for that debate, by the way. My world view is Biblical, but I have my own unique idiocracies under its umbrella I have no desire to impose or defend.
From the spiritual flows the culture flows the politics flows nothing new under the sun especially the battle between good and evil as it rages on.
Fight your good fight with the children you teach and I will pray and prep and keep my powder dry.
I’m looking for a Red Wave tomorrow and exploding Lefty heads as their hair bursts into flames. Will be praying for gasoline rain on the Left Coast and in the Blue Bubbles!
If I might make one small correction.
“narrative of the 1st black president of the U.S. hook line and sinker…”
Should read: …black president of the U.S. hook line and stinker…
Half-black, don’t forget. Mom was white.
Indeed, I used the term “black” as a tongue and cheek description of Osama…err…Barack Hussein Obama…hoping someone would make that point for me!
Kudos!
All I know for sure at this stage is that change is coming like a freight train down a mountainside. I’m just not sure what it looks like yet. So put on your big boy panties kids because no matter what happens on Tuesday, there will be fallout.
When the communists had their 1905 Congress they discussed what their problem was. They couldn’t win national elections. The Mensheviks argued it all takes time and they needed to wait for the inevitable march to progress which would occur when all had achieved middle class status.
The Bolsheviks argued they no longer needed to wait for everyone to become middle class to have the revolution. Everyone was poor so they were already all the same class and that should be good enough.
The Congress voted for their party to become a criminal conspiracy since it did not have popular support. Does anyone else see how many criminal conspiracies or conspirators surround us at this moment beginning with the Obama DOJ spying on Trump and then attempting to frame him?
I believe we are faced with such a criminal communist conspiracy as in 1905 whether populists walk away with it tomorrow or not. Especially if they do!
Day after the election…
Sessions is forces to resign….
Fallout check!
Part of the script!? Check!
Thank you Admin for the comprehensive review of our current plight. It’s scary as hell, akin to awaiting the Big One to hit the San Andreas, knowing that once things go down, life – survival – will become much more difficult. Average citizens have no clue about how their lives are going to radically change and will suffer accordingly.
The only way I cope psychologically is by treasuring each day of relative normalcy, trusting in divine providence and will, and trying to keep on top of supplies. After that, I just let it all go.
As I was reading this last night the November Tale song by the Waterboys was being played. I think it is time for the refrain in the song “…Pile all the blunders that we’ve made
In a tower too tall for climbing
And we’ll burn the damn thing down”.
Putin should know a thing or two about Satanism in politics considering the image below…
Don’t some of the previous global heads of state look so elegant in their United Nations masonic robes?
Oh yea, I forgot about that NWO costume ball.
Good one.
Dude… this speaks VOLUMES.
For those needing a short primer:
For those now inspired to learn a bit more:
http://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts/generational-chaos-ahead
There are a couple things I am pushing to enable #4. Neither of these get me out of a turning, but they do give me something positive I can engage in during the cycle.
The first was the confirmation of Kavanaugh. I’m not a Kavanaugh fan because of his education, experience, or stances. There are plenty of people who have a better record on the 4th amendment, for example. I am a fan of Kavanauh because he now has a very real view of the forces aligned against decent humans. I’m confident he will fight against immoral, unprincipled, and unfounded attacks. In a longer term, this demonstrates that irresponsible and reprehensible people may self-implode before their filth outweighs reason. In this light, I am actively engaged in giving these anti-social people enough rope to hang themselves.
The second tactic I am pursuing is reviving private property ownership. I use the term “property” loosely, but I am working to get at least one type of property unencumbered for all people. With a little ingenuity, it is possible to find ways to make the current economic issues simply disappear, rather than have to battle through them. Disappear, is probably too strong, because the issues will be replaced with different problems: some intended, some not.
Finally, there are a few themes I just don’t understand. So if someone would take the time to recommend some reading, or help me understand I would be grateful. To start, there is a lot of “Israel”, “Jew”, etc. I don’t understand the Zionist agenda, or the anti-Zionist agenda. In plain terms, I don’t understand why the Jewish population in the US typically votes along Democratic party lines. I don’t get that “Trump is a puppet of Israel.” And, I don’t have a good enough education to understand the impact of Ashkenazi Jews, or if they are part of the Zionist agenda or not: there are lots of different jews and I get confused over which is being referenced. Thank you in advance for pointing me to a good resource.
“I don’t understand the Zionist agenda”
It is a (((group of people))) who want to own you and fuck you up the ass at every turn. This is all you need to know.
The “anti-Zionist agenda” is a group of people (no parenthesis) who object to slavery and being fucked up the ass.
The two groups will try to kill each other.
Your lesson is now complete.
Ahhhh, the Stucky “Zionist Agenda – Abridged version”
It’s quick read. Available now at your favorite book store…
Thanks. That means I know six anti-zionists, and everyone else is suspect. This reaffirms my tinfoil hat approach.
But WHO are included in the (((group of people)))? Honestly I am also confused on this point. Chip
Don’t read articles on the subject. Start reading from books. The best start is “The Controversy of Zion”, by Douglas Reed. Freely available on the net.
Thanks Jen, I’ve got a copy and will peruse.

This manufactured “nationalist ” stage of the Masonic Great Plan is the inevitable product of decades of unfettered globalization in which each countries’ economies have been purposefully tied to one another through trade deals, sanctions, corporate and governmental contracts as a form of supranational control…
The final “nationalist” phase will be a bloody clusterfuck of deception, hate, pain ,suffering and deaths in which those global survivors will DEMAND unity at all costs because of the horrors committed in the name of flags and borders…
Looking several steps ahead on the Global Grand Chessboard, one can see the pieces set up to do just this.
I wish it weren’t so, but many of the secular amongst us choose not to comprehend that this is, indeed, the Devil’s playground and through advances in quantum computing not known to the public and the proliferation of Game Theory, we get to live through this contrived simulation to its end game,
The battles being waged are for naught…the only meaningful battles being waged are for control of the established supranational exoskeleton th at is already functioning…for the time when the NWO establishes its global authority over the planet. The other battles of importance, if religious, are for the minds, thus, actions of individual souls.
Everything else has been scrutinized, analyzed, discussed, algorithmically assessed and implemented.
Welcome to the Matrix folks!!!
“…as a form of supranational control…” (Agreed.)
…as well as supernatural. Reality compasses the spiritual as well as the physical. Welcome to the matrix indeed, the pyramids illumined peak.

Eph 6:11-12… “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

As always, encouraging words. Thank you. I think we all feel the weight of the world on our shoulders somedays more than others, the attrition of trying to live a vigilant life grates on us all.
Regardless of how others feel about your comments, I always find them inspiring.
It helps to put things back into perspective and remind me what’s really truly important.
Gracias!

Re-reading my thoughts that you responded to above, one of the last lines i wrote got me thinking about a Bible verse I had forgotten.
Matthew 24:24
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
The 21st Century has made this so much easier to occur with social media and the level of connectivity the average inhabitant of North America and Europe has!
We’ve all heard of artificial intelligence. Has anyone contemplated artificial omniscience? When the IoT fueled by 5G cameras, microphones, etc., backed by quantum computers “wakes up” it’s going to be very difficult for the non-Biblical person to understand that “the man in the cloud” is not god. It will seem like he will “know” everything.
For a deeper “contemporary” look at this scenario you mention, see 2 Thessalonians 2 in your KJ Bible. Paul examines this future “end times” event and shows it to us in this dispensation of grace; how we relate to it. The “elect” that Jesus Christ is referring to is not the body of Christ Paul is addressing, us (the body (new creature) not yet revealed by God to Paul at this point in the Bible – Mat 24) but to those believing Jews about to head into the tribulation to receive the promised Kingdom (which never came!).
Fascinating and remarkable stuff! Critical to ones eternal survival.
grace and peace, Plato…
Astute commentary.
Sentinels = Drones
Holy shit. Truly, on a number of occasions after reading a Quinn article I think to myself — ‘I really need to buy a gun.’. I say this because I want a quick way to end it all if shit gets really really bad. I’m just to old to fight (long and hard), and too fucken spoiled as a Boomer who-has-never-known-real-suffering to, you know … actually endure real suffering. I’m pretty sure I’m a Big Pussy when it comes right down to that.
I know things are getting really really bad in this country because of MY OWN attitudes. Here’s what I mean … hang with me.
I have always been the peace-maker …. making peace between my mom and dad (who fought a lot), and peace between my sister and mom&dad, and even between my Libfuktard sister and myself (cuz unless I reach out to here there would be no relationship whatsoever.) That peacemaking carried over to work and other situations. I know you all may find that hard to believe cuz I stir a lot of shit here. But, there’s a difference between real life and the internet life.
I’m also one who has always enjoyed ALWAYS looking at BOTH sides of every argument … which is, after all, how I evolved from being a rabid Christian Fundy to well, ummm, one of significantly less faith (at least outwardly).
Still with me? I gave that brief bio to say this: I no longer listen to ANYTHING the Dims, et. al. have to say! So, when I watch Tucker Carlson and he has a Dim guest (which is quite often) I just fast forward the DVR. Every single time, without exception. Same with the radio. Same with articles, or the internet. I have minus ZERO interest in “listening” to them. Fuck ’em. I hate their fucken guts.
It’s scares me to think that I have evolved from being a Gentle Giant to wanting to see a Lot Of Fuckers in America d.e.a.d. As such, I am 100% positive that most libtardfuks feel the same way about people like me. My libfuk seester sure does. And I know this; when people are no longer able to talk to each other about their differences … then the logical next step eventually becomes settling those differences with violence. That’s another reason I need a gun.
Don’t forget the bayonet..Nothing better than watching A Libtard’s guts spilling all over the road while they are under going “conversion therapy”…
Gotta tell you, I laughed out loud. Hadda pipe up on this…
“I have always been the peace-maker ….”
You are so much like my Nick. He will start yelling at the television if I’ve left it on some forbidden libtard without paying attention. I try to keep it on old episodes of Beverly Hillbillies.
Oh shit, the boobs are back! Rack ’em, stack ’em.
I was just a tyke when they made the Beverly Hillbillies, but I remember enough that it was a time around town where things were much better than today. Even those mid-1960’s cars looked good in black and white.
Start with a single shot 12 gauge with about a 24-26″ barrel, full choke or interchangeable choke tubes. Simple, easy to master. Can hunt or socialize at a turkey shoot. 00 Buckshot turns it into a military weapon. Unless you are entirely arthritic you can reload and fire faster than heck. Everything you want. Cheap, durable, accurate, forgiving and highly effective.
That new Mossberg with 20 round mags have given me shotgun envy…and I have a bunch.
The mag is the problem. Unless you stand up in a gunfight, which I advise against, that high cap shotgun mag will keep you from maneuvering and most importantly keep you off the ground when you should be as flat on it as possible.
I love combat shotguns. I have and recommend the Mossberg 930 JM Tactical. A semi-auto with the traditional tubular magazine It operates like a dream. Great trigger, smooth cycling, light recoil and extremely good patterning. It has a 24″ barrel with interchangeable chokes and holds 10 rounds of 3″ mags. Only a mad man would want to challenge someone with 10 rounds of 3″ with 15 OO Buck(.33 caliber) pellets per round from a semi-auto. The pattern from that will take a head off at 30 yards. Levelled on a city street full of Antifa at 50-100 yards 10 rounds of this would be indescribable.
Those magazine fed shotguns are primarily designed for the shotgun phase of three gun competition where everyone is usually standing upright the whole time.. They look good in movies too, but seriously consider a traditional tubular high cap. It’s the best of both worlds.
You have good taste in shotguns. The 930 JM is light and kicks for a semi! Ever try Federal Flitecontrol? The buck (or tungsten BBs in the Coyote load) stays in the cup for about 30 yards before it suddenly spreads to a man sized group at about 45 yards. Always get at least one 00 pellet on target every shot at 45 yards. I’ve dumped entire tubes of regular buck at this range and not gotten a single strike. This is ridiculously tight shotgun ammo and not appropriate for closer ranges when quick spread is desirable.
With the full choke I get a head sized spread at 25 yards with the cheap stuff like Rio or Spartan 2 3/4″ 9 pellet OO @ 1,400 fps. The same sight picture is used with trap loads at turkey shoots. We get 150-200 #8 on an 8×11 paper target @ 40 yards.
HR I don’t see the 20 round mag as a problem for me. It also has 5 and 10 round mags, but I am fascinated by the high capacity 20 round mags available. Next to my 6 & 6 Kel-Tec this is 8 more rounds and no flipping the gun over after just 6 to switch tubes.
I fought mostly with the M-60 and fire superiority or covering fire was critical. I see 20 round mags with a body and belt rig that could hold 5 or 6 additional mags as a significant edge if running and gunning, depending on the terrain, location, cover, range etc.
My past as a grunt with having to carry what I fought with taught me to carry as much ammo as humanly possible. I live rural and I want it for defense around the farm. I have ammo for a few weapons stashed for easy access in the house, barn and in two out buildings.
Thanks, I’ll check out the Mossberg 930 JM Tactical. I have a Mossberg 500 for about 35 years great gun. The Mossberg 20 gauge Shockwave is perfect for my petite wife and as a truck or car gun. I love shotguns also.
Mark, I’m going to ask my husband to look into that Mossberg 20. Thanks for the info.
MC,
You bet, my Petite Flower shoots a snub nosed .38, a Mossberg 20 gauge Shockwave and a Kel- Tec 2000 (light 9mm rifle). She is a good shot.
She is not a gun woman but I snap her in regularly.
We have home drills worked out. One is if she is ever held with a knife or gun to her throat/head and I am ordered to disarm I will yell out her middle name (I never use it) and she is to suddenly and violently fold over while (hopefully) I shoot the surprised bad guy in the face.
That is a favorite tactic by home invaders to disarm the husband, especially if they don’t have a gun and the husband does.
Check this out:

Hmm, I think I could handle that. It’s probably expensive…
MC,
I think mine was around $500 with tax…in that area.
In a bad situation it fits into a scabbard with a sling so you can carry it over your shoulder on your back. A great back up weapon easily carried (its light) leaving your hands free for what ever your main weapon of choice is. It holds 5 rounds and you can get an attachment on the gun that holds 4 more rounds.
(When I talk like this my wife clucks her tongue and calls me Mad Mark i.e. Mad Max…but its the way I think).
Mark..
Do you remember the fleschette rounds for the 12 ga. Pumps over there. When I got home I made my own close up rounds for a sawed off 20. Buy cheap low brass target loads and replace shot with finishing nails. Shoot a bed sheet at 5 to 15 yards and look at it up close.
Flea,
I never saw shotgun fleschette rounds. I know we had fleschette rounds for single 105’s, and the Ontos used them.
I saw an Ontos work out one time in February 69, tremendous fire power. It ended the discussion we having with ole Luke.
Mark..
The recon guys I used to drop off in the delta had them. They may have made them, they used 47’s as well. A single shot wouldn’t arouse suspicion if they took out a scout. At any rate they fired a round into a piece of cardboard at the compound. I t made me a believer.
Flea,
Recon were defiantly super grunts, I admired them, I suspect they could get away with more exotic weapons then a ground pounder in a line company like I was in.
Mark..
Right. I always had the highest regard for any grunt, Army or MC.
We were all part of what became operation Phoenix. We worked for the spooks on things that will never see the light of day. A Gunny gave that line I use about, if you don’t have a plan you’re gonna die.
Flea,
I was a military romantic as a boy and an intense anti commie (still hate frigg’in commies) went in soon after HS, we both know how fast my romanticism and righteous ideology were KIA in the grunt bush.
I was on hill 65 for awhile. I Corps, vividly remember watching the funeral of a 6 year old boy who use to come around when I was on bridge duty begging lifer bars and C-rat goodies. I didn’t know Viet funerals were like a Mardi Gras parade. His Father was a village honcho and was working with us digging wells and other hearts and minds stuff. Ole Luke the Gook slipped in one night and slit the boy’s throat in front of the assembled Vill as a warning and example then slipped out. We lost the Vill’s hearts and the boy’s family seemed to lose their minds.
I only know what I read about Phoenix. I guess it was a two way street.
I had an Uncle who I loved like a second Father. He was airborne in WW2. After I came home we spent serious time together, he told me about what he saw and did and it wasn’t any different then worst of any war, just got different press. Ole Sherman got it right…War is hell.
That’s why I challenged the blather mouth further upstream wanting the 4th turn to pick up speed…he has no idea of the shit storm coming.
Getting ready to crash…I’ll look for your posts later brother, glad to see you are back in the TBP saddle.
I’ll be heading back out beyond cell coverage sometime tomorrow. I have to withdraw for long periods of time to be alone with just God and my thoughts or the 1,000 yard stare comes back and I get batshit crazy. If I hadn’t been self employed when I was married they would have found me hanging in a closet.
That poser never been rushed at night time by a guy with nothing to lose but he will.
grace and peace to you and yours Fleabags… I mean it.
Flea,
Here is a comment from the most recent Brandon Smith article. Thought you would find the Phoenix reference interesting.
The Economy Does Not Care Who Won The Midterm Elections
http://www.alt-market.com/articles/3569-the-economy-does-not-care-who-won-the-midterm-elections
WRITTEN BY IMPLIED VIOLIN, NOVEMBER 8TH 2018
What further reinforced the kabuki for me was the fact that Kavanaugh got confirmed for a Supreme Court seat, when if the “Dems” had simply brought up the fact that the guy helped write the Patriot Act and signed off on waterboarding instead of fabricating the Blasey-Ford crap to pin on him, he could have been legitimately exposed and defeated.
Instead, we now have a Bush guy on the Court who has been reported to be in favor of military tribunals to try American citizens. There goes another amendment – and any chance that there was ever a difference between the two parties.
Brandon: have you ever written an article on “Operation Gladio” and how that European terror campaign eventually bullied Europe into accepting the EU and the Euro? Or the Phoenix program headed by former CIA director William Colby, which was unleashed upon Vietnam in the form of mind-controlled serial killers to cow the populace? Because both of those programs are alive and well here in the USA, with the same goal of terrorizing the US into accepting the globalist “solution” of the NWO.
And if I’m right, we haven’t seen ANYTHING yet. Mass shootings; bombings; assassinations galore are probably in our future, unless it gets exposed (and believed).
And also: I had problems accessing this site too, until I got rid of Internet Explorer and started using Brave browser. No problems since.
(I just read David McGowan’s book, “Programmed To Kill: The Politics of Serial Murder”. It describes this stuff, and is probably the most disturbing book I have EVER read.)
Mark…
Those spooks were evil and the routinely put the marines in jeprody with their murdering ways. Those Recon guys were just reconning, nothing else. The spooks would hire vietnamese killers to do some nasty stuff to villiagers and the Marines doing the pacifacation work were put in danger over it. It was a big mess and too involved to get into but they kept things in compartments to make it hard to pin anything on anyone just like today. After I went crazy I was an easy mark for their dirty tricks because I no longer cared about or believed in anything and didn’t have a faith to fall back on. No body ever believes we did those things anyway, no matter how much proof you have. 30 years ago I was telling people you could buy all the toddlers you wanted in Manhattan and everyone said I was nuts. Now you can buy them in almost any city.
If we aren’t the whore of babylon then she doesn’t exist.
Flea
Glad to see you posting again!
Always appreciate your insights, experiences and candor!
Much Love!
Plato…
Am heading back out beyond cell coverage tonight. Just came in this week to check mail when I saw this article on ZH. Haven’t seen BL?
Flea,
My outfit spent most of our time throwing hands with main force NVA, by 69 the VC had been decimated in our area. We did do some SEARCH AND DESTROYS sweeps in Quang Nam province (south of Da Nang) but to be honest we usually got it reversed. Nothing like 25 pissed off American teenagers losing a couple of buddies from sniper fire and bobby traps on the way in to a village to make the search extremely destructive.
However, the Marine Cap program, a platoon of Marines living in a Vill with the people, was one of the most successful pacification programs of the war. I never did it but have heard/read about it.
You are right about falling back with nothing to fall on. Samething happened to me. I’m glad we’re both good to go now!
Be safe brother, read you soon.
They make speed loaders for the traditional tubular mags too. Check out “Shootout Lane” on the Outdoor Channel on Wednesday nights. Jerry Miculek, who is the JM in the 930 JM Tactical competes with shotguns with all sorts of accessories and attachments. It is just crazy the stuff you can get nowadays. His wife, Kay competes with a Kalashnikov pattern 12 gauge with those super long magazines.
Thanks HR I will!
It also has a front attachment for a bayonet.
Hang in there Dr. Luv, everybody’s attitudes have gotten worse because of the current times, especially if they’re smart enough to see the inevitable. I think people are real scared; I know I’m afraid based on what I see and hear around my hometown. Venting raw emotions through writings is about all that can be done right now, and is probably least destructive to others, especially loved ones and relatives. There’s nothing wrong with literary stirring the shit when in everyday professional life you know if you ever say what you’re thinking that is the end of your professional work. That’s why I rant the way I’m known for. You keep on writing and raising hell! By the way, my sister is one of the biggest flaming Democrats there ever was. She lives in San Francisco, and last week when Mom talked to her she was bitching about how they ought to let in every illegal immigrant that is heading for the border.
While I don’t discount the possibility of the USA breaking up….I voted with my feet, family and fortune for the American Redoubt in anticipation of such an event, I believe it will be the American people’s choice not something imposed on us from outsiders in various stages of deep plots (Masons, Zionists, Globalists, Albert Pike whatever)..to think that misses the fundamental point of generational theory.
The crisis “season” is perfectly normal and simply comes from the internal contradictions in human nature that have reached a boiling point. The basic conflict of those who want to be left alone vs. those who want to use the power of the collective (government) to obtain additional resources must be resolved. Important to remember the conflict cannot be eliminated as it is simply part of humanity but the “grass will be cut”….and in another 80 years we get to do it all over again.
Have a little faith.
As to triggering events, in the original civil war, John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry convinced the South that there were elements in the North with lethal intent that no compromise was possible with. Even though the raid was a failure for fomenting a popular revolution and slave revolt it did start the countdown to war.
It is not a stretch to see a large ANTIFA led event having a similar hardening of the heart in the conservative/individualist community. We never start the conflict as by default we simply want to be left alone, but once provoked are all too happy to engage.
Generational theory is helpful in understanding much of the “whys” with respect to the average inhabitant but can be used as a justification to those Malthusian leaning and indoctrinated useful idiots who’ve been churned out from the Ivy League ruling class institutions of higher education to explain the “whats” and “hows” of this co opted Awakening.
Just because there is historical evidence of these cycical turnings occurring, does not change the end game for the average Joe global citizen.
Understand that most are confused, afraid, ignorant and angry….yes we can side with our pride and stoke our collective egos in knowing what we know and fall into the very same trap many worldly successful people do, thinking, saying it’s the confused’s or ill informed’s own faults for their ignorance…while this is personally gratifying it is an incomplete notion at best, at worst it is the underlying thoughts that lead to terrible atrocities and loss of self in the end.
But what do I know, I’m just a village idiot.
Dilly dilly
Plato,
I know plenty of Joe Global Citizens. I was one. I have warned many of them over and over with fact based essays like this, books, you tubes, articles, all types of hard evidence from the net.
What bothers me about many, some who I love, is their eyes just glaze over…they look at me like I’m just a right wing zealot. They have been so programmed and brainwashed since birth its hard if not impossible getting through to some. Now, I’m older and had a Grandfather and Father who sat me down and explained Communism to me and warned me about debt and Banks etc.
But most of my education came from my own intentional investigating, digging, reading.
It s the cultural Marxist long march successful tactics from the collages, media and Hollywood generation after generation. Politics is down stream from the culture and the culture is down stream from the spiritual.
Just my 2 cents.
Your 2 cents are worth more than the sum of two pennies to those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
Sadly, I think you are spot-on. I watch those ANTIFA rallies and the anger boils inside me. Recently I watched the Proud Boy Rufio tearing through a few of them and I felt good about watching that happen. That is not who I want to be.
I do not wish to feed into it but eventually I believe we will all need to choose a side.
Steve,
I have stood in front of Antifa. It is a scary place, not them…but what it brought out in me.
I have already chosen my side.
Semper Fi
You sided with the gun nuts?
#metoowellimeanisidedwiththegunnuts
22,
A boyhood ditty with an added word…
I’m a little acorn brown
sitting on the cold cold ground

That is why I’m cracked you see

I’m also a FREE MAN…Oh say can you see…Don’t Thread on Me
Those who love liberty believe in the non aggression principal, we believe that everyone should be free to live as they wish so long as they do not harm others.
We believe the only violence which is justifiable is in defense. We have stuck by this principal, probably much longer than we should have. We have allowed our freedoms and our property to taken from us without resorting to defensive violence. We have watched our brethren persecuted and wronged. During all this time we have had the anger of what is happening swell inside us. At some point that anger will reach a point where our collective conscienceless will force action in unity. When that time comes, there will be hell to pay.
The best defense is a good offense.
THIS —-> ” The basic conflict of those who want to be left alone vs. those who want to use the power of the collective (government) to obtain additional resources must be resolved.”
Forget all the SJW crap, right versus left, and any of the other divisions. It all boils down to the conflict described in this one sentence… Chip

WTF??
The armies of the world are a bunch of fucknuts who would have trouble dislodging the CHILDREN of the members of my local gun club in a serious fight.
WOLVERINES!
A FUCKING MEN Admin. Let the shit hit the fan and the cocksuckers pay the price of their ruthless ways. Let it all happen!!!!!!!!
What people need to come to grips with is that we are way past fixing this thing. The debt which now grips the entire world can only have one outcome and that is world wide depression. World wide depression can only have one outcome and that is global war. Whether that war will even be survivable is unknown, what we do know is the elite have spent enormous amounts on shelters and seed banks in hopes that it is.
You see, this is the problem with allowing the phycopaths to usurp all the power, their addiction is the power over others, and they will do anything to achive it, even distroy the world.
A bunch of you fuckers sound like certified nuts. Good for you ,go with God. The Depresssion that’s coming won’t be about you wielding your new Mossberg…..it’ll be more like trying to get thru 1 more day, intact. Pushing past exhaustion, fear and shock. Nothin fuckin glorious about any of that.
Who the hell said anything about glorious, fear and shock is when a new Mossberg will be needed. That was wise advice to an unarmed man and maybe a few others who need power and capacity self defense.
Read my answer to the anon giddy with anticipation for TSHTF before you take an inaccurate cheap blather mouth shot.
Not a shot at you, mister. I’m talking about motherfuckers who have no real conception of death, dismemberment, chaos or anarchy. They buy an AR 15 and think what’s coming down the road is a video game. Won’t be like no fuckin video game, it’ll be a lot slower, uglier, with too much time to think about things you can’t comprehend.
Dennis,
OK…we’re good. Sorry I misunderstood your intent.
I agree 100% with the video game analogy and the horrific reality.
Carry on buddy.
“A bunch of you fuckers sound like certified nuts.”
Pot, meet kettle.
I usually can’t get past the fact that you’re an insufferable twat but this time, for once I have to wholeheartedly agree with you.
Takes an insufferable twat to know another insufferable twat….twat.
Do you got hair on your ass, RiNsEy?
Yes I do varmit… yes I do!
please guys,there are things we don’t wanna know or think about–
lol
Where the fuck did you learn to talk like that, prep school?
Prolly picked it up from your old lady.
Dennis, I used to write like that in the early days. Sometimes, we all have that moment when we want to flip everybody off. It usually happens right before the commenter says goodbye forever and flushes himself down the toilet.
I like you Dennis, you sound like you still got some hair on your balls. I certainly worry when my opinion is in concert with the majority here. Then I know I’m not thinking but just going along.
Sorry to say, but there’s an extra $21.5 Trillion to the debt. That’s just an audit of DOD and HUD.
It’s really late in the game when $21 trillion is hidden behind the “national security curtain”…
Scary shit! Thanks for posting.
Read the book years back. They’re completely off in saying the “financial crisis” (largely made up by BO so he could give out trillions in his “stimulus.”) started it. Naw, it started with 9-11, which allowed the whole multi-cult, migrant, obama thing to happen. It’s resolving in the Trump election, populist/nationalist realignment, end of globalism and new awakening. All good, once we got O out of there — the 2016 election will solidify realignment with a return to tradition coming with the rise of Gen Z.
The rise of Gen Z?
We’re gonna be ruled by women and children?
“The Democrats have enslaved inner city blacks in their ghetto plantations with their failed welfare policies and victim card tactics. The potential loss of this voting block has Democrats seething with fear and lashing out wildly in all directions.”
The #1 result of that seething & lashing out is their recruitment of Muslims, illegal aliens and (most recently) Puerto Ricans as new Brown Shirts, as blacks finally start to question their overseers.
Orson Welles’ broadcast did NOT “evoke panic.” That is a media myth, and you have swallowed it hook, line, and Martian corpse.

If these articles strike home, there’s another essay outlining the development of the Seventh Crisis and what it means to us all at: seventhcrisis.com. Take a look for a further extrapolation of how the crisis will develop over the coming decade.
Thanks for all of the well wishes! The “Ow, my legs hurt!” part of me doesn’t want to stand in line to vote. It’s a rural area so I don’t expect the line to be long at all.

Fun read as usual Admin. Congrats.
this 4th turning might just heat up more quickly then we planned–
i really did not think that people would vote the dems back in but they are being projected to win the house while the reps hold the senate–
here in florida it’s a mixed bag–the dem has conceded in the governor’s race & the rep has a slight lead in the senate race–
however,we had a slew of amendments on the ballot & they all passed–
additionally,here in hillsborough county (tampa),we had 2 sales tax increases on the ballot & they both passed,making this county the highest sales tax county in fla–
you guys go somewhere else for vacation & buy off brands of cigars,if we’re this stupid we don’t deserve your business–

Was it you, RiNS that made the weekend at Bernies meme of her sitting in her chair dead but propped up?
I’m not a firestarter, but this strains me:

“In retrospect, the spark might seem as ominous as a financial crash, as ordinary as a national election, or as trivial as a Tea Party…” – The Fourth Turning – Strauss & Howe
The paragraph… It was written over two decades ago,
——————-
WUT?
Tea Party as in 2010 or Boston?
Can’t be Boston – that wasn’t trivial (2010 wasn’t either, but whatever)
Can’t be 2010 because that wasn’t over two decades ago. If, so, how can you call it trivial? Reeks of condescension – not a good look.
Sorry, but I’m sensing a little Bovine Scatology. Please do expound.
I’ll go back to reading the rest of the article now…
Once again, the effect is explored without the cause..
read these two articles, and see if you find the common denominator
that’s sealed the doom of our world…. no mistakes have been made…
